Two OF A KIND.-The work of cut
ting down and grading the hill on East
John St., leading to the Water works
is in progress. Dr. j. w. McSherry is
chief engineer and Jim Dunn is the
contractor. The best joke of the season
is to hear Jim Dunn speaking OF DR..
Jim as the "contrariest" white man he
ever worked for, and DIR. Jim freely ex-
press the opinion that Jim Dunn Is
the most contrary Irishman he ever
saw. Those who know both we'll will
readily concede that this a we'll match
edpair. What an anxious public wants
to know, however, is whether that hill
will be graded or degraded. States
man.
Well, Captain, if we are to answer
we will say that between engineer and
contractor the work will--be done.
A PLEASANT EVENING 1t was our
pleasure, in company with several
Young ladies and gentlemen. to take
tea with Rev. j. r. Andrew, at the
parsonage, on Thursday last This
gathering was in honor of Miss Evans,
of Md, and Rev. Clarence Kennard. of
Brighton, ID. c.. both guests, the for
mer having spent several weeks with
Mrs, A. and the latter having assisted
for the past week in series OF revival
meetings now in progress at the nj. II.
Curch, South. We are thus indebted
70 Mr.. A. and his excellent lady for
another of the many pleasant. sociable
and agreeable evenings spent III TINS
city. To attempt more minute de-
scription of the entertainment would be
to do the grossest injustice TO both host
and hostes, hence we would but say
that our enjoyment was complete, moth
ing being left undone that could add
thereto. A GUEST.
